Since we pipe smokers share many similar interests, I though I'd share a collection of cool watches I found from URWERK I'm amazed at the craftsmanship and design skill.

Gorgeous watches

With some of their watches over $100k, they better be gorgeous! I agree though that they are works of art. I'd just be too afraid to actually wear it anywhere...

Wow, some hi-tech looking stuff for sure..thanks for the link.
Marry the right person, this one decision will determine 90% of your happiness.

I am very much the plain watch kinda guy!
Mason jars and bale top jars, mason jars and bale top jars.... that is all!

Don't need a watch. Got a cell phone.

I have a bad habit of breaking watches.
Unfortunately with me the higher the cost the lower the life expectancy of the watch.Posted 1 year ago # -
I agree, high-tech. Something James Bond would be proud to wear.
I had to get off those watch forums. I was going to pull the
trigger on an Omega Planet Ocean for $4000 till I came to my senses.
Now I have a Seiko Sumo for a daily beater.Posted 1 year ago # -
I'm cheap! good ol timex expedition for me. But man those are some cool watches!
Posted 1 year ago # -
Why does that omega planet ocean look exactly like a watch I got from wallmart for like 8 dollars?
Right now I've got 2 because I bought my yearly watch ahead of schedule and the first's battery isn't dead yet, but I don't like it so it'll just sit in a drawer until it finally does.
The one I wear is made almost entirely of plastic, got it from a Chinese distributor (its a "chisen" apparently) It looks a lot less cheap than it is.

Awesome watches. I do have a thing for watches. Not really my style of watch, but very cool watches none the less.

yoru, if you're happy with that Walmart special, that's all that counts.
More money for tobacco and pipes.Nice looking submariner, Tommy.
How much are Rolex's at Wally World.Posted 1 year ago # -

Posted 1 year ago # -
Oh yeah, Walmart has Rolex. All made in China.
Nothing wrong with that. He he !Posted 1 year ago # -

And who is going to be rude enough to question whether it is real or not? Same thing with diamond rings...it's just bling bling, social masturbation anyway.

Very nice watches for sure.Very space age looking. obviously beautiful.But I must say I am more of a vintage/antique pocket watch guy. I have several.My oldest and favorite is an elgin dating from 1894. Works just like new and holds perfect time.That's all I need. Thanks for the link though.

Cool as hell, hobie. Now if we can just drill a couple holes
and make it a pipe, too.Posted 1 year ago # -
Cool as hell, hobie. Now if we can just drill a couple holes

$120 for a pipe-watch, that's not too bad. It's gotta be Briar though.

I'd go for a vintage Omega or Zenith myself. Maybe something like this:
I have a really old Zenith but it is in pretty bad shape, although working.

Found some new watches I like...I'm a sucker for Navy Blue/Gold/Silver combination.
This is about 35K
Another 50K dollar watch

This was my Christmas present.

The Bulova is a very nice present indeed. I'm kind of a watch snob in that I like mechanical watches best. I began collecting pocket watches when I was a boy and never looked back. I did't begin wearing a wrist watch on a regular basis until I was in my'30's though. Urwerk makes very nice watches; would like to have on some day.

I've always been fascinated by the Omega Speedmaster Professionals. Something about being certified by NASA for extravehicular activities.

This is a bad thread for me. I am such a watch queer, many Omegas, Zenith on and on. There is a Speedmaster with a meteorite face at the jewelers I almost bought for my birthday. I still fight the urge to just do it. Man, this is bad, WAD (you know what it means)

Mechanical watches are the only way I'll buy them anymore. For some reason, I go through batteries really fast.

I was always collecting watches, but got into pipes now I have tamed down watch fetish. I did recive a nice Seiko solar powered for christmas. Its no rolex but suits my needs.

I have an Omega Speedmaster I wear on certain occasions, but mostly it sits.
I have a couple of the Russian watches with the military theme, but rarely wear them.
have a Smith and Wesson "soldiers watch" with tritium dials I bought to wear on the scooter at night, so I could tell time easily. Rarely wear it.
Bought a Casio G-shock Mudman in black and red for a work watch. Wear the hell out of it. my favorite watch, by far.
Got a G-shock solar/atomic for Christmas that I like a bit less than my Mudman, but I alternate it, at work, daily with the Mudman.
Bought my wife a Baby-G-shock (ladies version of the Casio G-shocks)for Valentines Day. She needs a good tough watch for work and the gym, but one with at least a bit of feminine appeal.
I have gotten to be a bit of a G-shcok addict. Not all of the designs appeal to me, especially not the true "fashion" ones, even though they are all tough watches. I would like to get one of the aviation style mechanical/digital they put out, but they are up there in price for a Casio...

I like the Black Cobra, ready to buy, but it ONLY comes in black. That, and it costs as much as the home I built...
I always like the Oakley line, but not sure I'd pay that kind of cash for an "Oakley" brand wrist watch. This one can be used as a wristwatch or pocket watch.
I have an Accutron,the wife gave it to me for our 25th wedding anniversary. Hopefully the last wristwatch I'll need to purchase...

As men have very little jewlery made for us, I have to say I appreciate a nice watch (pokcet/wrist). One day I hope to be able to splurge and get myself a Bvlgari watch. Great craftsmanship. Most run around the same price as a Rolex though. http://us.bulgari.com/productList.jsp?subcat=cat00167&cat=cat00003
